CaRES Student "Blazer ID"

If you are a UAB student or employee, or if you were a UAB student or employee in the past, then you already have a Blazer ID (and it cannot be changed). CaRES students from our affiliated universities who have no previous UAB connection should enroll for a Blazer ID as soon as the paperwork has been done to place them in a CaRES project this summer. The introductory material below is copied from the “Blazer ID Central” web page https://idm.uab.edu/bid/faq that you should please read for further information, if you need to enroll for a Blazer ID. Thank you!

“A BlazerID is a computer login name that the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) has deployed campus-wide. It is roughly equivalent to the screenname/"buddy list"/username identifier you may have used to access online services such as Google, Yahoo, or America Online.”

“Many of the network and computer resources at UAB accept or require a BlazerID for login, and the goal is to ultimately have your BlazerID serve as the sole identifier that allows you to securely access all of UAB's online information services and portals.”

“Most major administrative and academic online services on the UAB campus now require that you have a BlazerID.”
